It’s easy to imagine a scenario where an RV owner can hook up with adaptors in such a way that at least the 30-Amp cable from pedestal to motorhome gets overloaded. That could lead to a fire and or shorting out, which “could” cause other damage.
It’s “unlikely” the 30-Amp system within motorhome will be damaged directly from plugging into 50-Amp service because, as stated by others, it is limited to 30 Amps by main breaker in MH. Having said that, wiring beyond the 50-Amp breaker at pedestal should be capable of handling all 50 Amps, and in this case it wouldn’t be.
